In the middle of the renaissance is HeSheEat, a trendy dessert café that became the talk of the town when they first opened in 2013. Based on my scouting report, their chef has worked at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon for nearly 2 years so my expectation is certainly riding high.
In order to avoid the crowd, we decided to visit a little before 7pm when everyone is still having dinner.
On top of the 3-4 tables next to the ground-floor kitchen, there is also a quieter dining area up these stairs on the first floor.
HeSheEat is a one of the few local dessert cafés that prepares desserts like waffles, soufflés, mille feuille etc. right on the spot and the quality is superb.
They're currently doing a cross-over with Levis jeans this month featuring this green tea fondant cake with pistachio crumbs and tofu ice-cream. Let's have this one.
But first a kettle of chestnut milkshake to quench my thirst. That felt so good (though it could have been a little more milky)!
Our tiramisu was the first of the two desserts to arrive. Underneath that cute presentation were thin layers of sponge and mascarpone. I love the fact that they have added some coffee jelly and vanilla cream into this symphony of contrasting flavors and textures.
I am the first to admit that I am no fan of chocolate fondant cakes. Way too intense and rich for me. But this one was a pleasant surprise for us chocolate fondant haters!
A lovely green tea flavored fondant cake served with pistachio crumbs and Japanese style tofu ice-cream on the side.
Just when I cut through the fondant cake, the green tea lava flooded out. That tasted so good, a definite must-try for sure!
